Ski Butlers Blog

With temperatures hanging out in the teens over the last few weeks, and snowfall accumulating almost daily, Steamboat locals have been itching to hit the slopes. This will be the first time since 2002 that the resort will be opening early and the town is beyond ecstatic about the news.

The simplest answer is, why not? We recognize that we are a part of a mountain community that stretches across the globe from the Rockies of Colorado to the Himalayas of Nepal. Whether we’re skiing down groomed resort trails or forging our own through the backcountry, the communities that come together around these magnificent mountains are some of the closest and tight-knit in the world.

At the start of every ski season, we at Ski Butlers Steamboat get together for a ski day before our season really kicks off. Luckily, about an hour and a half drive we can be at Loveland Ski Area, which opens to skiers and snowboarders about a month before Steamboat Resort opens. Well, that day was yesterday and we got lucky enough to have a fresh foot of snow under our feet, but before hitting the snow I was a little nervous of how well I would do my first day back for the 2015/16 season.

On November 13, join us in participating in the 24 hours of Reality and Live Earth: The World is Watching, a global day of action and music to celebrate the progress we have made around the world in regards to combating climate change. Furthermore, by supporting this day of action, as well as participating in the Thunderclap, we will send a clear to message to world leaders that climate change can no longer be ignored.
